This One Is Good---But Not "The Best".......2006-09-12

Type the following into the search on Amazon to find the best English version of The Merry Widow: Léhar: The Land of Smiles; The Merry Widow; The Count of Luxembourg (Highlights)

Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ", September 11, 2006

The "best version" of the "Merry Widow" is NOT this one. The best version is the one with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved that rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note LOUDER than the chorus---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, the Bronhill CD is made in Holland and "there is one left", so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

Joan Sutherland under the baton of Richard Bonynge.......2004-02-24

THE MERRY WIDOW, Franz Lehar's dizzying and delightful operetta chestnut, is given the grand treatment in this highlights album featuring Joan Sutherland.

There have been many widows (including June Bronhill, Anna Moffo, Beverly Sills), though Joan Sutherland's WIDOW has always been especially grand. The supporting cast on this recording features Werner Krenn as Count Danilo with Valerie Masterson as Valencienne, Regina Resnik as Zo-Zo and John Brecknock as Camille, with Francis Egerton, John Fryatt, Graeme Ewer and the Ambrosian Singers.

Sutherland's performance as Hanna Glawari is full of masterful strokes and she approaches the score with a twinkle in her eye, aware of the comedy in the piece. Richard Bonynge conducts the National Philharmonic Orchestra and they are especially chill-inducing with the Overture.

All-in-all a superlative recording at a bargain price.

Performances better than the recording.......2004-01-18

Unfortunately this CD was made from the Australian TV tapeing of The Merry Widow, a shame that the microphones are not of high enough quality to capture the really fine performances, it is hard enough to understand what is being sung when properly recorded let alone when the equipment stinks, however if you enjoy Joan Southerland as much as I do you can overlook the flaws in the recording and just get carried away with the voice, it would be nice if a libretto had been included, a rarity today, that used to be common in the era of the LP

Don't buy UK version........2004-09-14

Dear Pulp fan... -- and that's what you must be to be willing to buy this. Otherwise, Pulp's 3 preceding albums are considerably better: "His "n Hers" (1994), "Different Class" (the one with "Common People", 1995), and their best, "This Is Hardcore" (1998).

Anyway! Dear Pulp fan, I seriously advise you to not buy this British import, since the songs are exactly the same as on the rest of the world (including Canada) version. If you desperately want the original, green leaves cover, since the rest-of-the-world has an autumn, multicolored-leaves cover, then I'd advise you buy the US import. The US import is not only cheaper, but has 2, albeit below average, bonus tracks found as b-sides on "Bad Cover Version". While they don't constitute a proper ending to the album, and sound under-developed, HEY they're extra tracks. So there's no reason to buy the UK version; the US version has the same cover and 2 bonus tracks.

Maybe my favorite Pulp album.......2003-07-12

I wouldn't compare this to Radiohead's Kid A, like some others reviewers have, but maybe closer to Blur's 13. But We Love Life is much more likable than 13 is at first. This album is less pop than Different Class, less dramatic then a lot of This Is Hardcore, but honestly I've bought dozens of albums recently, and I keep coming back to We Love Life. The songs on here aren't un-pop either, it's just a more relaxed feel with different instrumentation, and arguabley their best lyrics yet. If Pulp do make another album, I'd hope that they continue with this sound instead of trying to be the group they were in the mid-90's. One of my favorite albums.

Sunrise.......2002-08-26

The last track is the key to the understanding of this album.

Whilst the earlier albums, marked with Jarvis' keen perception of reality, were more concerned with the "overfilling of life's ashtray", We Love Life is the manifestation of the artist's present more mature attitude. Call it Zen, whatever.

Bob Lind and Bad Cover Version do not really belong on this album, being more reminiscent of the classic Pulp, but they are not to be missed.

Hope Pulp stays together for a while longer.......2002-04-30

I first saw Pulp on Italian television back in 1995 performing 'Do You Remember the First Time.' First, the band's music and visual style swept me away. Then the intelligent, clever lyrics actually invoked vivid images in my head that stayed with me. The exaggerated, playful emotion in Jarvis' voice rang true and therefore not so exaggerated, just awesome. So therefore, I find "His N' Hers" and "Different Class" to be two of the greatest and enduring pop records ever.

With a significant gap of time, I eagerly anticipated This is Hardcore, but must say I was somewhat disappointed. There are some excellent to perfect songs there (Help the Aged, Like A Friend, I'm a Man, Sylvia). But songs like This is Hardcore, A Little Soul, and Seductive Barry seemed to wallow a bit too much musically. See the thing is Pulp has always written songs about misery, decay, abuse, misfits, etc. but wrapped them in creative, sweeping, upbeat, grandiose, and fun, if somewhat seedy musical landscapes. That was what seriously attracted me to Pulp. This is Hardcore showed a noticeable, if not uniform, reduction of that energy/vitality in their music.

Fast-forward four long years to the not so much anticipated We Love Life and, while Pulp still write excellent lyrics, the music continues to become more introverted. What happened to the supreme rush of Pulp's music? Where have the frenetic, precise, acrobatic nerves in Jarvis' head gone? I read that the band almost split during the recording of this CD because they didn't like the way it sounded. A last minute re-recording saved the day. However, the episode seems to indicate that Pulp haven't been too happy with their output either.

Thankfully, there are some eminently likeable pieces here (musically as well as lyrically), namely: Weeds, Birds in Your Garden, Bob Lind, and Bad Cover Version. But overall, a lack of that old Pulp fizz persists. Lyrically, I believe this record to be an improvement over This is Hardcore, so that makes a BIG difference to me, but still these songs leave me feeling slightly deflated.

"Longtime fans will surely enjoy it.".......2002-04-10

Like Radiohead's O.K Computer was to The Bends, Pulp's follow-up to This Is Hardcore is a progressive rock album that, while isn't in the same vein as the previous album, is just as excellent. Abandoning the revoltingly nauseous feeling of Hardcore for an up-tempo ensemble using various string arrangements and composed tunes, Pulp have created an outstanding album that pulls them back into their His `N' Hers days. Bringing in legendary 60's performer and recluse Scott Walker as producer certainly was an intelligent move for the group, who brings a buoyant feel to the music by adding a background choir to a number of the tracks and uses lead singer Jarvis Cocker's voice in ways he mustn't of thought possible. The album opens with the country-esque "Weeds", using both acoustic and electric guitars to create an experimental feel to the track, heightened by some excellent percussion by drummers John Bank and Alasdair Malloy. The song is followed by the entirely different dark and brooding "Weeds II (the origin of the species)", which hears Cocker reading out lyrics that sound like they were taken from a nature park pamphlet. For fans of their last two albums, the band has included two exceedingly Brit-pop tunes in, firstly "I Love Life" that hears their classic `get your life back together' attitude kicking back in with superb paradoxical guitar riffs, one playing some Hendrix-esque sounds, while the other going for the standard Brit-pop tune. "Bob Lind", on the other hand, sounds straight out of Different Class with it being another wallow in the misery of post-fame existence. One of the most fascinating songs we've heard in a while has to be the eight-minute long, Velvet Underground-inspired "Wickerman", using a Lou Reed-esque voice to tell a normal story with exceptional music backing it, with the track sounding like a tribute to VU's "The Murder Mystery" and "The Gift". With some brilliantly funny pictures in the inlay that show the irony of the world, We Love Life is a marvelous little package. While people who jumped on the Pulp bandwagon within the past four years might find the album to be slow, repetitive and weary, longtime fans will surely enjoy it.

LLOYD WEBBER'S BEST OF IN A SINGLE DISC.......2005-01-07

There are numerous compilations out on the market full of Lloyd Webber's music. As most people know, Lloyd Webber is the most successful musical composer of all time and many of his songs became standards not only in the theatre history, but also as tops on the charts. This is the compilation Lloyd Webber personally supervised and it is the best thing to have if you can't afford his five-CD compilation called "Now and forever", which was selected and supervised by him as well. You should bear in mind, however, that there are two compilations called Gold out there: This one is for the British and the European market. There is another one, issued later and digitally remastered, aimed at the American buyers and although some songs are repeated on both of them, they contain different songs or the same songs sung by different artists. Therefore you should check your favourites and buy accordingly, or, if you can, buy them both.

So here are my thoughts about the tracks in this one:

1. "Superstar" and "I don't know how to love him" are both from the concept album of "Jesus Christ Superstar". They sound wonderful as ever.

2. "Don't cry for me Argentina" is beautifully performed by Julie Covington, who was Evita at the 1976 concept album. She sounds like Madonna, only much better and the London philharmonics are the best orchestra ever used in this song. David Essex sings "Oh what a circus" with a strong voice, in my view, much better than Mandy Patinkin.

3. From "Tell me on a Sunday" we have "Take that look of your face" sung by Marti Webb. This studio version blends perfectly Marti's voice and the strong back vocals.

4."Memory" from "Cats" is probably the most famous of all Webber's songs, recorded by numerous artists. The one here is from the London cast recording, sung by Elaine Paige. I love Elaine's version very much, but this one is not the definite one. Her best rendition of this song, with the much matured voice, can be heard in "Cats" DVD or in her latest two-disc compilation, "Centre stage: The very best of Elaine Paige", issued in May 2004.

5. "Pie Jesu" is the best known song from Webber's "Requiem". Sarah Brightman is joined by a young boy soprano Paul Miles-Kingston in this solemn deliverance. Very pretty.

6. "The Phantom of the Opera" is represented by three songs in their single versions. In the song of the same title, we have Sarah Brightman and Steve Harley sounding very appropriate, although my favourite will always be the one with Sarah and Michael Crawford, which can be found on the American version of this compilation. Cliff Richard and Sarah sing the lovely ballad "All I ask of you" with passion, and Cliff has a wonderful warmth in his voice. Finally, Michael Crawford gives his unique and mesmerising interpretation in "The music of the night".

7. "Aspects of love" boast here with its top song, "Love changes everything", performed wonderfully by Michael Ball. It was his #1 hit and is probably one of the most beautiful love anthems ever written.

8. "The Joseph and his amazing Technicolor dreamcoat" was Webber's first musical and the signature song "Any dream will do" is performed here by Jason Donovan with a youthful warmness. Wonderful pop piece.

9. For the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Webber wrote, together with his long-time lyricist Don Black, this next song, "Amigos para siempre or Friends for life". It's a nice duet between Sarah Brightman and Jose Carreras, their voices are a perfect fit. The melody itself is neat, especially when the orchestra takes the lead.

10. "Sunset Boulevard" is marked here with two songs. Barbra Streisand's powerful voice shines all the way through in "As if we never said goodbye"; it's a shame she never played Norma Desmond on Broadway, since Patti LuPone wasn't allowed to take her Norma to New York, and Glenn Close butchered the role. "The perfect year" is here in its single version, sung splendidly by Dina Carroll, and it sounds much better with this orchestration than in the show on stage.

11. As we approach the end, we have an Academy Award winner, that is, "You must love me" with Madonna, from the 1996 movie version of "Evita". This is another wonderful ballad with the haunting cello and piano solo. It just proves that Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice were the best collaborators. They really should do another musical together.

12. The last two songs are from "Whistle down the wind". The first song has the same title and it's a pop single performed by Tina Arena. She has a really strong voice and the drums and guitars here are a well made combination. Boyzone's "No matter what" was a huge pop hit in the charts. Again, we have a song with the suitable orchestrations and vocals.

All in all, this CD is a must have for all the Webber fans. It works well as the background music or on the headphones. The booklet contains some pictures and an introductory text. The sound quality is excellent. Every song here really is a pure gold.

Webber's best.......2002-07-05

This CD is subtitled "The Definitive Hit Singles Collection." And that it is. Eighteen tracks include the best known Webber hits. Julie Covington does "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina." If you haven't heard the other side of the Evita story, you need to hear David Essex's "Oh What a Circus," an answer to "Don't Cry . . ." Sarah Brightman and Steve Harley do "The Phantom of the Opera," and Michael Crawford does "The Music of the Night." Barbra Streisand does "As if We Never Said Goodbye," Michael Ball does "Love Changes Everything," Marti Webb does "Take That Look Off Your Face," and Madonna does "You Must Love Me." The rest of the album is not filler; is top notch Webber, truly a collection of hit singles.
